Placed together, like the stones of a wayside cairn, they mark a changing psychic and physical landscape. The virtuosity of these short pieces is both subtle and deceptive. Jamie's intent 'noticing' of the natural world is suffused with a clear-eyed awareness of all we endanger. She considers the future her children face, while recalling her own childhood and notes the lost innocence in the way we respond to the dramas of nature. With meticulous care she marks the point she has reached, in life and within the cascading crises of our times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCairn resonates with a beauty and wisdom that only an artist of Jamie's calibre could achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners Books Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41136928686215,"sku":"9781914502002","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3199\/6807\/files\/9781914502002.jpg?v=1711649771","url":"https:\/\/thebookhousebroughtyferry.co.uk\/products\/9781914502002","provider":"The Bookhouse Broughty Ferry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
